When a man raises his hand
Am I correct to understand
He means Hello, Stay back or Danger
Watch out!
When a man extends his arm
Is it delight or to alarm
To signal Friend, Foe or stranger
And when he reaches for the sky
As we stare and wonder why
Does he reach to show the way
Or will he dive
Encoding signals is a major skill
It can lead to desires fullfilled
Or it can lead you to lose your very life
lose your very life
Raise your hands
Raise your hands
Raise your hands
I see the signals
The piston pumping
When a girl looks away
Does she really mean to say
Im feeling shy, about to cry
Or afraid (afraid, afraid)
And when she looks up towards the sky
And we're left to wonder why
Does she mean to say, Dont stay this is goodbye
Encoding signals means a great deal
It can explain the way that you feel
Or it can trace the shape
Of your very life
Of your very life
Raise your hands
Raise your hands
Raise your hands
The piston pumping
And middle fingers
Raise your hands
Raise your hands
Raise your hands
The Piston pumping and midde fingers
